Description

This one will definitely be a fan favorite with kids and adults! I wanted to create a grenade toy that exploded when it hit something. After a lot of thought, I decided to design it using magnets (16 in total).

I first created the grenade, and then I broke it into pieces like a puzzle. After that, I added the holes for the magnets, and now we have a functioning toy grenade! It is quite fun to use, and I'm excited for you to try it out! Keep in mind that it's very easy to lose the pieces because they go flying everywhere, but its worth it lol.

I made five files that make up the grenade. The bottom section, middle piece, top section, handle, and pin.

I didn't put all of them on the same build plate to make keeping track of the magnets direction (polarity) easier.

This model is for PERSONAL USE ONLY, if you want a commercial license and access to more awesome models you can get it on my patreon https://www.patreon.com/kevbot_3d

Print Setting:

I recommend printing the bottom pieces first, then moving to the middle piece, then the top pieces, followed by the handle and the pin. I will have 3MF files for each piece with all the settings I used to print them (including the stops needed to embed the magnets into the print).

I recommend 30% infill or less. If you do more infill, the magnets might not be strong enough to stick to each other.

You will need 16, 6 by 3mm Neodymium Magnets. These are the magnets I use if you are interested:

If you don't know how to orientate the magnets please message me and I will put a video together if needed.

You can also purchase key rings to attach to the pins here:

Scalability

I would not scale it up but you might be able to scale it down a little bit.

Supports Needed?

Thank you for the support! More designs are on the way and if this design is a hit, I will most likely make some variations.

Happy Printing!

Cheers,

Kevin

Print the version with the holes and Pauses (DO NOT REPAIR THE BUILD IF PROMPTED) After you have prepared check that the holes are there in the slicer Add the magnets all facing North, use super glue or they will fling out, stick to the machine or the other magnet Be careful with the orientation If you look at the picture and assume everything faces up/north when in the correct orientation then it's fine. As advised, go bottom to top and testing as you go, it makes sense once you get going.

So for the magnets, do you just orient them so that they hold the model together? Does it 'explode' by just tossing it around or is there some magnet magic I'm missing?

(Edited)

@Kevbot.

Replying to @Cruv1291 :

Yes that is correct, the magnets hold the model together and then when you throw it, it is suppose to explode. I have a video on my social media accounts showing it in action.

Amazing model, once dumb me put the top half magnets in correct way!! If your following the other comment advice, and doing all NORTH facing, remember to invert one of the halves off the grenade tops when looking at the build plate off your printer. I did evverything NORTH up, EXCEPT for one of the halves of the grenade (bottom or top, it doesnt really matter as the middle piece can be flipped over and still work - just as long as each bottom\top are different polarity)

@larson

Hi. Very nice model! Can you please clarify where do the magnets go? Should I drill holes for them? Thanks.

@J.lifer

Slice the model and you can see the holes in the parts for the magnets. What I'm curious is, how to keep it together without flying apart......

@Kevbot.

Thank you! The print profile should have stops so that you can embedd the magnets in the print. Just be careful which orientation you put them in.

and you supply a diagram

@moonrakerone

The way these are uploaded make them nearly impossible to work with, can't even export stl, can't edit settings, can't load multiple in bambu. Would it be possible to get some .stls in the raw model, or differently exported .3mf files? For instance I'd like to plate these out so people can easily print everything from one profile, but I cannot even add two models on the same plate currently.

The designer has replied

@Kevbot.

Thanks for mentioning this. I just uploaded another .3mf file with all the plates and STLs. Let me know if you are still having issues.

i have see your youtube videos i think you are a great youtuber

@Kevbot.

Thank you! I really appreciate that! ♥️

@Cruv1291

@kevbot maybe you can help me but do the magnets hold the model together and the “explosion” is when it’s thrown and breaks apart or is there supposed to be a section that repels against another?

The designer has replied

@Kevbot.

Yes, you are right. The magnets hold the model together and when you throw it, it's supposed to break apart.

@Cruv1291

thank you!
